Portland homes, up close
Summer heat waves have become more common, and many older homes lack air conditioning. Long, wet winters keep crawl spaces damp, and moss is a common roof problem.
Most of Portland's water comes from the Bull Run watershed east of the city. Additions are often served by a separate unit or a long duct run, which is a common reason one room never feels right.
Mild, damp weather means heating runs much of the year at low output, and many older homes were built without central air. Heat pumps are a common upgrade. The Big Pipe project, finished in 2011, cut combined sewer overflows to the Willamette River by 94 percent.
Local rules before you book
In Oregon, HVAC contractors need a Construction Contractors Board license, plus trade licenses where electrical or plumbing work is involved. If your system uses gas, NW Natural handles service to the meter. If you smell gas, leave the house and call them from outside.

What people ask us
Is my neighborhood in Portland covered?
We look for independent pros across Portland, including Sellwood, Hawthorne, Alberta and St. Johns, and ZIP codes 97201, 97202, 97203, 97204, 97205 and others. Coverage depends on which pros are available that day, so we will tell you right away if we cannot find someone.
What is a heat pump?
It moves heat instead of making it, heating in winter and cooling in summer. Modern cold-climate models work well even in freezing weather.
Why is my AC freezing up?
Low airflow from a dirty filter or blocked vents is a common cause, and low refrigerant is another. Turn the system off to let it thaw and call a tech if it happens again.
How often should I change my filter?
Check it monthly. Many standard filters need replacing every one to three months, more often with pets or during smoky or dusty stretches.
You are free to talk with more than one company before you decide.
